Eggs shortage helping drive prices higher
SUMMARY: Egg prices have risen significantly due to bird flu, which killed 17 million egg-laying hens in November and December, leading to a shortage. In Florida, the average cost of a carton has jumped 37%, now exceeding $6.30. Despite this, local businesses like Alessie Bakery are striving to keep prices stable, even though they use up to 7,000 pounds of eggs daily. The bakery’s owner says they are better prepared to manage costs compared to the 2021 price hikes caused by the pandemic and bird flu. Many customers appreciate these efforts, though families struggle with rising food prices.
Egg prices are in short supply across the nation and it’s hitting everyone, especially restaurants and bakers.

Speaker Johnson removes chair of powerful House Intelligence Committee
SUMMARY: House Speaker Mike Johnson removed Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, citing the need for a “fresh start” in the committee’s leadership. Turner, a vocal supporter of Ukraine and holding views that conflicted with President-elect Donald Trump’s policies, had clashed with Trump on foreign policy matters. Johnson, closely aligned with Trump, is expected to announce a new committee chair soon. Turner was praised by Johnson for his role in working with NATO, but his stance on intelligence and law enforcement issues did not align with Trump’s vision for the incoming administration.
